[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v5 0/4] V4L2 compatibility layer

[Paul Elder]

Implement the initial version of the V4L2 compatibility layer.

Patch 2/4 implements the infrastructure for the pipeline handler to
optionally assign a device number to each camera that it adds to the
camera manager, to allow the V4L2 comptibility layer to map device nodes
to libcamera cameras. Patch 3/4 implements the mapping assignment for the
uvcvideo pipeline handler.

Patch 4/4 is the complete implementation of the V4L2 compatibility
layer.

In v5, we now depend on the following two patches:
3/4 - libcamera: pipeline: uvcvideo: Fix crash when default entity is
      not found
4/4 - libcamera: object: Support reference arguments in invokeMethod()

Paul Elder (4):
  libcamera: v4l2_device, v4l2_videodevice: call open system call
    directly
  libcamera: camera_manager, pipeline_handler: allow retrieving cameras
    by device numbers
  libcamera: pipeline_handler: uvcvideo: register all Cameras along with
    a devnum
  v4l2: v4l2_compat: Add V4L2 compatibility layer
